Inter Milan is eyeing Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo as a potential target for the upcoming transfer window, according to recent reports. The 31-year-old full-back has expressed his desire to leave Napoli, with Inter considering him a suitable candidate to reinforce their defense. Di Lorenzo’s experience, toughness, and ability to excel as a wing-back in a 3-5-2 formation make him an attractive option for Inter’s tactics under coach Inzaghi.
Despite having renewed his contract with Napoli until 2028 last summer, Di Lorenzo’s potential departure has sparked interest from Inter due to his reliability and adaptability on the pitch. Inter’s pursuit of Di Lorenzo is further fueled by the uncertainty surrounding Denzel Dumfries’ contract renewal negotiations. The Dutch defender’s deal expires in 2025, and if an agreement is not reached soon, Inter may look to offload him and redirect the funds towards securing Di Lorenzo’s services.
While Inter faces competition from other clubs such as Aston Villa, Juventus, and Roma for Di Lorenzo’s signature, his availability presents a strategic opportunity for the Nerazzurri to strengthen their squad. With the summer transfer period fast approaching, Inter must navigate the complexities of negotiating with Napoli’s president, De Laurentiis, to secure Di Lorenzo’s transfer and potentially part ways with Dumfries. The upcoming weeks will be crucial for Inter as they explore avenues to enhance their squad for the upcoming season.
